In this podcast, Sam and Nick discuss important, relevant and modern aspects of EMS law that may have been overlooked in class.

In April 2022, 81-year old Celeste Salanitri died twelve days after being resuscitated by paramedics. Unfortunately, she never wanted to be resuscitated in the first place.

In this episode, Nick and Samantha explain what DNR is – and is not – and explore the legal, ethical and clinical implications of DNRs for EMS providers. Please like, comment, and subscribe!
